Coming Home Everyday

While I know you can't get this set and dies any longer I still wanted to share with you the cards that I made. They may inspire you with another set that you have or if you have this set to keep creating with it!

I wanted to make a new house card in the city. I stamped and die cut the three houses and colored just a portion of  each house with my Real Red blends. I die cut the scallop top using the Ornate Borders dies. Congratulations stamped and adhered with dimensionals.


I think this card could be used for a newly licensed driver or someone leaving one career for another or even retirement! I adore this little car! 


Here is another new house card. This one would be more of a country house. To create the curved edges I used the die from In the Woods. I did emboss the Soft Sea Foam card base with Evergreen embossing folder. Because the trees didn't stand out enough for me, I sponged them with some Soft Sea Foam ink to highlight them a bit more.


I hope you look outside the traditional use for a stamp set and dies. I know that I struggle with that. If you can think outside of the box, you can come up with some amazing things!

Happy Stampin'!

Country Home

The Country Home stamp set has been in our line up for a couple of years. You may have it or just didn't notice it. Because it's been around a while, it seems like many people forget it's on their shelves and play with the newest, latest and greatest! I know that I fall into that too. 

I still really like this set! The milk can is so fabulous! I made all three of today's cards using that milk can. I am starting out with a very feminine card. The base is Smoky Slate with Blushing Bride embossed with Tin Tile. I then sponged it with Frost White shimmer paint. It's so shiny and pretty! I did stamp the can and the flowers with Memento ink and used my Blends to color them. I then fussy cut them out.


I also wanted a fall feel to a card with this set so I pulled out my Plaid Tidings designer series paper to have a jumping off point for this card. I stamped the flowers on the Whisper White oval. The milk can was stamped separately. I colored both images with my Blends again. The milk can I fussy cut and added it to the bottom of my flowers. I did do a Facebook Live on this card. You can watch that HERE if you would like! There is a trick that I show for the plaid background!


The reason I pulled this set from my shelf was that I really wanted to do a Christmas card with it. I think this set lends itself to lots of themes and holidays. I again colored the image with my Blends. To create the background I stamped my Buffalo Check background stamp with Memento ink. I then used my ruler and my Real Red Stampin' Write marker to add the red lines. Adding the red really makes a difference on this card. I wish I would have taken a picture of the background before  I added the red. You will have to trust me on the difference it makes!


I have to admit that while this set was on my table, I created 9 different cards! Yep, I couldn't put it away. I'm not sure if you will see all the samples before Christmas though. I have a bunch of Christmas cards I want to share and these may have to wait. That will depend on how well I can keep up with writing out blog posts though too! Keep watching!

Happy Stampin'!
